A 8 months indocyanine angiographic follow-up of a patient with serpiginous choroidopathy.
BACKGROUND
Serpiginous choroidopathy is a rare progressive disorder which affects both the choroid and the retinal pigment epithelium.


OBJECTIVE
To analyze the fluorescein and indocyanine green angiographic evolution in a patient affected by serpiginous choroidopathy with a one year follow-up.


METHODS
A patient affected by serpiginous choroidopathy was examined with fluorescein angiography and indocyanine green angiography with a follow-up of 8 months.


CONCLUSIONS
Fluorescein angiography shows clearly the active and healed lesions in serpiginous choroidopathy while indocyanine green angiography seems to be more useful in detecting the extent of the choroidal involvement and may prove to be a useful tool in indicating the direction of future disease extension.
